Griezmann retired, Mbappé spared, Kanté injured… Didier Deschamps will have to rethink his plans for this gathering. Facing Israel on October 10, then Belgium on the 14th, the Blues coach will appoint a new interim captain. If in recent days, the information from RMC went in the direction of a nomination of Maignan, The Team mentions other possibilities this Sunday.

In this context, Jules Koundé could thus have his card to play. Relatively discreet in speech, the international tricolor expresses itself mainly through its performances and its reliability in recent months. According to the daily, his profile could emerge, while Didier Deschamps has often praised his qualities and his unifying personality. Ibrahima Konaté, provided that he continues to assert himself sportingly, could also be a longer-term solution.
